IoT going beyond the proof of concept

The majority of IoT deployments across smart city, industrial or smart home are still relatively small scale and their benefits kept within the confines of the respective organisations. Slow deployments and costs are often to blame which prevent IT managers to go from proof of concepts to production. But for all to fully reap the benefits of IoT, large deployments scaling across cities and multiple sites will be required. In this session, Mike Bell will share some of the insights of deploying Ubuntu in production across IoT verticals: digital signage, smart city, industrial, retail, telecoms...

AI and ML adoption in the enterprise is exploding from Silicon Valley to Wall Street. Ubuntu is becoming the premier platform for these ambitions — from developer workstations, to racks, to clouds and to the edge with smart connected IoT. But with new developer trends comes a plethora of new technologies and terminologies to understand.

In this webinar, join Canonical’s Kubernetes Product Manager Carmine Rimi for:
∙ A decoding of key concepts in AI/ML
∙ A look into why AI applications and their development are reshaping company’s IT
∙ A deep dive into how enterprises are applying devops practices to their ML infrastructure and workflows
∙ An introduction to Canonical AI / ML portfolio from Ubuntu to the Canonical Distribution of Kubernetes and and how to get started quickly with your project

And in addition, we’ll be answering some of these questions:
∙ What do Kubeflow, Tensorflow, Jupyter, Edge AI, and GPGPUs do?
∙ What’s the difference between AI and ML?
∙ What is an AI model? How do you train it? How do you develop / improve it? How do you execute it?

And finally, we’ll be taking the time to answer your questions in a Q&A session

Rigado, a Canonical partner, provides a secure, scalable gateway solution to companies deploying large-scale Commercial IoT applications.

Canonical recently announced a partnership with CPLANE.ai to simplify cloud management. Canonical brings scale, performance, and reliability to the cloud as well as ease of installation through Juju Charms. CPLANE.ai provides the multi-site orchestration and software defined networking.

Join us for this webinar where we dive into practical use cases that are now made possible with our partnership, including Telecommunication Service Providers, Industrial IoT, Smart Buildings and more.

-How do you solve the issue in FS where IT budget is used to keep in legacy systems therefore starting new thing is slow and it's hard to attract talent on old systems VS go outside to get something expensive and not always differentiating
-What are some of the challenges with creating a devops culture in Financial Services?
-How do you encourage your clients to adopt a Multicloud approach?
-AI is one of the biggest trends in FinTech over the past few months. Do you think FIs are getting to grips with it successfully, or do you see areas they can improve on?

The world of money is constantly changing. Artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things have helped us extract more value from data and utilise it to provide a better service for customers. Leveraging the powerful blockchain technology has resulted in the creation of new financial ecosystems.

Join this video panel which will be livestreamed from Money 20/20 Europe where industry experts will cover:

Canonical have recently released 18.04 LTS to continue Ubuntu’s positioning as a reference cloud for digital transformation workloads. Ubuntu is at the heart of the world’s largest OpenStack clouds, both public and private, in key sectors such as finance, media, retail and telecommunications. Join our upcoming webinar to discover how Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and OpenStack Queens will benefit the enterprise.

Last December, we announced a Kubernetes Cloud Native Platform in partnership with Rancher Labs. Built on Canonical’s Distribution of Kubernetes and Rancher 2.0, the Cloud Native Platform will simplify enterprise usage of Kubernetes with seamless user management, access control, and cluster administration. Join our webinar to get a tour of the platform!

Software development teams using the diverse tools and languages of the cloud native world face formidable hurdles safely releasing software fast. Artifactory acts as the single source of truth across languages, package types, build tools, and deployment targets. In this webinar, we’ll look at how using JFrog Artifactory with Canonical's Distribution of Kubernetes brings new levels of productivity and efficiency to your development pipelines.

Kubernetes brings Devs and Ops close together, but that presents significant challenges for traditional CI/CD as an effective and scalable on-ramp onto clusters. A new class of solution—a Container Delivery Pipeline—embraces the fragmented, dynamic and complex nature of micro-services, and speaks the language of configuration. In this webinar, we will demonstrate how an automated, secure, compliant and production-minded pipeline becomes a natural complement to on-prem Kubernetes deployments using Canonical’s Distribution of Kubernetes.

Need to get up to speed with Kubernetes? This webinar will give you the primer to the Kubernetes platform that you need. You’ve probably heard that Kubernetes is great technology, but have you considered how you can use it in the enterprise? We’ll give a comprehensive overview, demos, and even ideas into how it can be used in your business!

Join this webinar for an opportunity to...
>See how companies can save money and go faster with Kubernetes
>Learn how you can get started with Kubernetes from deployment to your first workloads
>Get an opportunity for Q&A with Canonical’s Container experts

Modern software is getting complicated, and we’re simply not able to
hire or train people fast enough to operate it due to the complexity of
micro-services running across many machines. Juju from Canonical allows
you to deploy open source operations code and model-driven operations at
any scale on any cloud. Join the Juju team to find out what Juju is, and
what benefits it can bring to your company.

OpenStack has often been positioned as an alternative to traditional proprietary virtualization environments. Join Arturo Suarez and Stephan Fabel for:
>A breakdown of differences between OpenStack versus traditional proprietary virtualization and information on identifying when it makes sense to use one or the other
>Analysis on TCO, best practices and risks
>A demo on how to migrate from a traditional proprietary environment into an OpenStack cloud

Want to know even more about Snaps? In our second webinar on the topic we’ll be taking a technical look at Snaps themselves, our writing and publishing tool Snapcraft, how you can convert your existing applications, and the insight you’ll need to start building your first snaps! Ready to start building? You won’t want to miss this one.

What if you could package, distribute, and update any application for Linux Desktops, Servers, Clouds, and IoT devices? Snaps are containerised software packages that are simple to create and install, safe to run, and can work on all major Linux systems without modification. Whether you’re a developer, desktop user, or even a device manufacturer; you won't want to miss this!

What if you could move your Linux Virtual Machines straight to containers, easily, without modifying the apps or administration processes? LXD from Canonical is a pure-container hypervisor that takes the speed and latency of containers and brings them to the hypervisor world. LXD is a machine container, meaning they’re just like traditional physical and virtual machines. Join our webinar on February 7th with Technical Lead Stephane Graber to learn...
>The difference between application & machine containers
>How pure-container hypervisors such as LXD can reduce overhead
>How to use LXD in practice from deployment to operations

As more and more applications move to the public cloud, many wonder if it still makes sense to maintain a data centre apart from regulated workloads. In this presentation Andres Rodriguez, MAAS engineering manager, will look into how devops and infrastructure managers can build an agile data centre with a developer agility and a cost base that can compete with public cloud.

In this presentation you will learn:
* How to build a low cost / high usage smart data centre based on automation
* Most common use cases best suited for bare metal provisioning
* How MAAS, Canonical's server provisioning tool, can be used to build your agile data centre
